Yoga for Grief Support combines the benefits of a grief support group with yoga practices for self-care. The combination of education, support, and connection with others, coupled with breathing practices, gentle movement, and meditation, help relieve the physical, mental, social, and spiritual symptoms of grief. The emphasis of this class will not be on physical exercise. We will utilize the deeper tools of yoga to help participants create a safe space for their grief and connect with their deepest selves in a compassionate way.
The class will be facilitated by Kathy Bang, retired LISW/Hospice social worker and Michele Hoffman, C-IAYT/Integrative Medicine and Health yoga therapist.
